If you want to discuss this, I think it would help to highlight or post some applicable quotes for us rather than dumping a page of close to 50 quotes (of varied content) and expecting us to read through all of them until we find the ones you may or may not be referring to. As to Mile's supposed racism. I've never gotten the impression that he's had some inherent prejudice against other groups. What I would agree with, though, are his reactions to the various injustices and indignities of his own experience in America. His statements are nothing that I wouldn't expect from someone who was treated the way he was. In his autobiography he describes his experience going to Paris for the first time and the revelation of being treated with the dignity and respect for someone of his status. Something he had rarely, if ever, received back home. As another poster has said, if what he has to say about white people in America offends you, then perhaps you need some thicker skin. As far as I can tell, Miles' assessments are fair.
